In the fall of 1973, The Rolling Stones played a European tour that is widely regarded as their pinnacle. Mick Taylor, all of 25, had been with the band for four years, after having built his chops in John Mayall's Blues Breakers.
The tour was recorded but never widely released. Bobby Keys was on tenor, Jim Horn on trumpet, Billy Preston on organ and Ian Stewart on piano. The October 17 show at the Foret Nationale in Brussels featured a mind blowing set. The last thirty plus minutes kicks off with Can't Always Get What You Want into Midnight Rambler. Mick Taylor is on fire and the lead rythym interplay behind Keys tenor solo is remarkable. There is a brief let down with Honky Tonk Woman, but then they blow the roof off with a medley of Rip It Up, Satisfaction, and Street Fighting Man, on which Taylor is other worldly. Oh yeah, you can find it at www.wolfgangsvault.com. Join (FREE) and enjoy.
So it was 7 miles on the elliptical this morning; 75 minutes of drudgery but for the Stones. HR was up over 150 by the time the slow break on Midnight Rambler kicked in and up over 160 for Street Fighting Man. Killer.
Missed a too early yoga class so afternoon was core work; one minute front plank, one foot up at 20 sec, switch at 30. 10 bird dogs each side into side plank on hand for 45 seconds. 3x.
Rose got her ball session around 7:00 for which she was manic; cooling off as usual as above.
